- I posted the values. With zero loss wire real part of impedance impeance is less than 1 ohm. I believe the way to do this in a model is to use lossless wire. With zero loss wire, all losses are caus

- Have been watching the FCP postings for some time. I was not impressed with 1950's military counterpoises, but many were not tuned. Someone was using the FCP on a 4 square. Wondering if any of the us

- Gents, I have an inverted L about 16' above ground with many radials on my roof. Would the K2AV FCP be effective connected as a "radial" ? I have a DX Engineering Choke at the feed point. The anten

- Very kind, and flattering, but... I'm really NOT expecting to be the loudest guy. There is no reason for me to expect that. But I AM in play. My station, including the antenna wire + FCP, IS "working

- Guy: great review of all that you did, as far as opting to go the "FCP route," and why. I opted to go with sixty elevated radials and, like you, have some "proof" that the decision worked for me as I

- Greetings to all from a first time poster... I am going to use an FCP with an inverted L for 160. I have 2 questions: 1) can I run the FCP parallel to the horizontal wire or should it be perpendicula

- Using #10 bare wire is fine. If that's what you have on hand to use (free of incremental cost), then by all means use it. It certainly will NOT hurt anything. There are physical reasons for "bare" an
